<p>I <a href="https://hackmd.io/dRsVUVj5Qoi5oz0aPf_nFg?view#A-broad-policy-on-edition-changes">copied this section</a> from the original Epoch RFC but I'm not sure if I like it. It's kind of <em>too detailed</em>, I feel like I cant tell quite what it means.</p>

<p>I might replace it with something more succint.</p>

<p>The section header has changed, I think? At least the link doesn't appear to link to a specific section anymore</p>

<p>It is now <a href="https://hackmd.io/dRsVUVj5Qoi5oz0aPf_nFg?view#Limits-of-edition-changes">this section</a>, which is much shorter</p>
